Alex Denslow Email & Phone Number

I am a partner in the Insurance and Reinsurance Group at CMS and Head of CMS' Insurance Sector Group. I advise many of the largest global insurers and reinsurers upon all types of inwards and outwards reinsurance and retrocession disputes, both on a facultative and treaty basis, across non-marine (particularly property and casualty) and marine (cargo, freight liability and offshore energy) classes of business. I also have extensive experience of defending brokers and coverholders and their errors and omissions insurers, often in major multi-party disputes. I also handle the defence of a wide variety of professional indemnity disputes for the insurers of solicitors, surveyors, accountants and IFAs.I have considerable trial experience and have been involved in several landmark cases including Bonner-v-Cox ("the 77 Energy Cover"); Taylor Aston-v-Aon; Nicholas G Jones-v-Environcom; Aspen Insurance UK Limited-v-Adana Construction Limited. I have successfully acted in numerous arbitrations which are not reported due to their confidential nature. I provide tailored risk management training to clients and have lectured extensively on legal issues affecting the insurance and reinsurance market. I am a co-author of the leading English legal textbook "Insurance Broking Practice and the Law". I have held in-house legal positions at Miller Insurance Services Limited, Markel International and Aon Limited and my legal advice is underpinned by an understanding of how the insurance market operates. I am a recommended partner in The Legal 500, an independent survey of law fims carried out with insurance and reinsurance clients.

Listed skills include Insurance Law, Reinsurance Law, Litigation, Arbitration, and 15 others.
